Panaderia Mi Mexico Pequeño

Best pan dulce in NYC hands down. Only place I can find the pink colored conchas. It is a deli, but the pan dulce is fresh and made throughout the day. Lots of other Mexican products available. Excellent prices. Just bought 6 conchas for $ 4.50.

Best Mexican bakery in Brooklyn! The pan dulce is baked fresh throughout the day. The space is extremely small and it is constantly packed, also the prices for the pan dulce are not listed. On average each piece is about $ 1 – 2.

Weekends are best when the bakeries set tables outside and sell goodies. This spot caught my attention with a sign that read «tacos de barbacoa,» meaning BBQ tacos. Wow, what a great idea! Well, um, they ran out of those and were only left with bean, pork and veggie options. I took all three. For only $ 3, they give you four of these soft-​shelled tacos. Very simply made, you are free to add fresh condiments like cilantro and onions. A convenient food if you’re in a rush or just curious to try out small eats.

I couldn’t believe how cheap this place is. Four pastries, two hot chocolates and a coffee was $ 6.50. That’s crazy.
The setup here was cool too. You walk into the very narrow store, and grab a tray and pair of tongs. There are a bunch of roll in oven racks, and the trays are all full of pastries. Luckily, the woman in front of us was able to tell us a little bit about some of the pastries.
I didn’t get the names of any of them, but they were all around the size of a medium eggplant. Some were sweeter, some were really crumbly, some were soft.
The hot chocolate was just a packet of Swiss Miss, which was kind of disappointing, but minor. This place is cool and worth checking out.

A day spent in Sunset Park was a cultural and culinary treat. I am obsessed with all things Spanish, so naturally I found myself right at home here on 5^th Avenue in Brooklyn. Never mind the cat calls and the obvious staring and howling, it all comes with the territory.
After having some tacos with friends, I decided to stroll down 5^th Avenue for some groceries. I was in search of some fruits and oddities. You see, I am addicted to tamarind. I love the tartiness and flavour blurst in your mouth. I went into a few grocery stores, and none of them carried tamarindo pulpo candy, until I ventured here.
When I was in Mexico, I ate so much of this candy. But once I got back here, I had a hard time finding it. I was able to find some of it in South Park Slop thanks to a trusted Unilocaler, Deanna W.
Lo and behold, I walk in here and there on the counter and on a rack are all the tamarindo candy I want. They have tamarindo pulpo candy, spicy tamarind sticks, tamarind balls, and also spicy dried mango. Boy, was I happy. I bought a few packages of tamarindo pulpo candy (5 pieces for $ 1) and also one bag of dried spicy mangoes.
I came out of this store, beaming from ear to ear. It is the small things in life that makes it so good.
(I also heard the pastries are good, and not a earful of English was heard in this store. Viva Mexico!)

This place is yummy! A small panaderia that bakes all of their breads and sweets in the back. Today we picked up two sweets from this place — one vanilla custardy bar-​like dessert, as well as one pastry bread — it was semi flat and had a circle in the center that had slightly risen? I’m far from ever being an expert at Mexican sweets/​breads, but it was GOOD. It’s by far the most moist piece of pan dulce that we’ve ever had, and the texture was also slightly crunchy on the outside.
We will be back to stock up.
